I hear ya ! But we are getting close for sure, I am currently at 83 days and you are at 77, so I am betting we hear something next week ! Just a matter of timing really, had we submitted 5 months earlier it would have been super fast, however feb or march would have been awful, so at least we are in a time where things are speeding up a bit, even if they are speeding right by us !
Missmymexi - long time no talk! I know we are so so close but yet I still feel like we are so far away. If I didn't take my immigration vacation I think I would be in the Loonie bin by now LOL! I called yesterday and they said they have no record of our application since they are working on april 2nd so thats the latest files on their system? Lol, I don't know. I am going to stay positive - our approvals are just around the corner!!! :)

Well that is not very encouraging is it ! I havent called at all, I am trying very hard not to obsess with it even though its constantly on my brain, really I just want to get on with the actual decision, Stage 1 seems like such a waste of time, I am just hoping that Mexico city will be pumping out visa's like its going outa style !! My daughter said yesterday that if he could be home for christmas that that would be the best present she could ever get, and I agree ! Although very doubtful that it will be christmas !

Oh you never know.. you're probably going to be approved any day now if not already. I think you should call them tomorrow morning. And 5 months from now is Dec 10.. so it's a possibility.. I have no idea how fast Mexico is processing apps right now. I know Canadiangirl got hers fast, And Nessa got hers pretty fast. So as long as they don't slow down.. Christmas could happen :)

I know it's only been two weeks since I requested my FBI police clearance, but I'm getting very impatient! It feels like an eternity, especially because I'm 90% sure that will be the last document I need. I just wish they would hurry up, but with the timeline being 5 - 6 weeks, it's a torture :(

In September it will be 3 years since I first submitted my application :-X waiting gets old after a while. I'm hoping to be in Canada by September. My wife and I said that this (last month) was her last trip to Mexico, since we have to start saving money for when I go back.

Absolutely, you are right, I am going to try and call tomorrow and see what they say, I also went through a lawyer so the response would be sent to them, I checked with them today but no response from them so far. My fingers are certainly crossed that I can have him home for christmas, I would be the happiest women alive !

Suddenly I dont feel so bad about the time we are waiting ! Oh Edgar, I sure hope this gets wrapped up quickly for you !! Although I love your humour on the forum, so you would be missed but we would understand lol !

Hopefully you will get your FBI clearance next week and then get your PPR right away !!

I totally understand you. In pre-emptive strike, we went ahead and requested a new FBI in mid-June, "just in case". The BF date of June 30 came and went, and still not a peep from CIC. I realize we are SOOOOO close, but with still no word, "soon" seems like it might as well be light years away. As hard as the waiting game at the beginning part of the application was, I have to say sitting in the home stretch with no clear sign of the finish line is much worse! My zen is definitely MIA at the moment.

September is our magic month too. We were married Sept 13 2010 and we are hoping and praying that our second anniversary will be celebrated together in Canada. Like you, we have also put the idea of another trip to Mexico on the back burner - the travel costs have mounted, and vacation time is stretched. Plus I really want to save a bit of that vacation time so we can enjoy a little time off together after he eventually arrives in Toronto :)

It seems a September landing would be a dream come true for both of us, Edgar :D I'm cheering for you!

Exactly. My zen is on hiatus until September when (a) I start teaching classes again; and (b) my husband *hopefully* finally arrives!!! Yep, despite my impatience, I'm keeping the dream alive ;)
